God's April Fool's Blessing

So, I think it was like 1 am, one hour into April first that I sat my laptop on top of my scanner in the dark. It was fine for about two seconds before it plummeted between the space created by the wall and my desk.

My first reaction was...CRAAAAAAP!!!

Of course I flipped on the light and dragged my poor laptop out from under the desk, thankfully it still worked. However, yes, there is a however in this story. However, my AC adapter took the brunt of the fall and is no longer functional. As soon as the battery runs out on my laptop I'm SOL. (so outta luck) Well, not really but that's how I felt as I gave the silly adapter a glare that would have sent it to it's grave had it not already gained it's wings and halo.

I couldn't help but think God had pulled a very clever April Fool's on me. Oddly enough, I really wasn't all that upset. Since my laptop is temporarily out of service, I've been forced to mingle and get out of the apartment if only to do schoolwork. Hence, why and how I'm writting this blog in the first place. (Econ quiz, I aced it BTW 100% Go me, it's my birfday! Heck, if I'd know the Econ lab had this kind of affect on my grades I would have started taking my quizzes here ages ago!)

So all in all, my laptop literally taking a swan dive off my desk wasn't a bad thing. It kinda threw me back into reality. I was spending entirely too much time on the blasted thing. Not that it was bad, artwork, home work, writing, blogging, e-mailing, chatting and so forth, but I wasn't getting out and some of those things I mentioned could have been done in notebooks and such. It's been good for me...for a few days. :D

I've learned my lesson and saw the experience as God saying, "I gave you a world so you could experience it first hand, not look at it through a computer moniter while drooling on a keyboard." Heavenly Father is awesome that way. It's a thwack upside the head, with lots and lots of love behind it. LOL!

I've already ordered a new adapter and it's enroute. But I've decided to only use the laptop to type up finished stories already written out on a notebook that can accompany OUTSIDE of the apartment. And, to only work on personal art projects, which might change to the art lab just because they have a ton more cool features and fun things than I have on my laptop. Homework and other things will be done in the library or appointed labs.

I'm making head way on my booklet. CURSE YOU ORPHANS AND WIDOWS!!! Okay, that's actually Typography lingo so don't go forming an lynch mob. Let's just say there is still a lot of work and fine tuning to do to my poor booklet. I'm pretty sure it won't kill me, but you've heard the saying that there are so many things that are much worse than death... And I shall embrace it and praying that I shall overcome!

I think I need another five zillion trips to the temple to get me through this one. I went yesterday and it did wonders for my fickle attitude. Whoot for awesome roomies that will drive you to the temple so you can have a most awesome ending to a day God was generous enough to give me. :)

Okay, this was long, like an elephant nose... or something.
